I got the frame side mount bolts un done and just took the castle nut off, is it threaded into the drag link or would a hamner knock it out? Any other tips on how to take the stabilizer off?

 

pickle fork and a BFH. Your local parts store should rent them, but for under $15 it's a nice tool to have on hand.

 

Ok how would I use it? Like where would I put the pickle fork in and hammer?

 

pickle fork between stabilizer and tie rod. in the crack. and you hit the fork on th end. forces itself between the two halves. same as tie rod end removal on most vehicles.

 

Try to hammer it first to save a trip. But if not..Pickle fork.

 

as well as on the end of the stud, hammer on the tie rod itself right in front of where the stud goes thru it.

 

I went and got a pickle fork, still won't budge!

 

If the hammer in the picture is the one you're using you're going to need a bigger hammer. You want like a 4 lb sledge hammer. You may really have to give it a good whack.

 

i had trouble once with this. go inside the jeep and turn the steering wheel while someone hits the fork with the hammer.

 

^This, you need a BFH. Not that dinky thing.

 

They're such a pain to get off lol

 

Is there any way to get a 2-jaw or 3-jaw puller on there? or ball joint press?

 

Just a BFH. Thats all you will need. Well that and a few hard hits. It will come off

 

I'm using a small sledge hammer now, it's not budging! It's ridiculous!

 

You think thats stuck? You should have seen my TRE stuck inside the frame mount. I cut the trac bar in half to get to the TRE...anyways I got the mount off..me and a few buds put it on a table vice...and with a HUGE 8lb sledge hammer we slammed it for like 30 minutes straight...finally popped out.
